    5'6 very active lifestyle currently 83 to loose. I don't exercise per se, I just have a physically demanding job and physically demanding hobbies. I average 15-20k steps a day.

    I get a base goal from MFP of 2300 calories to loose 2 pounds a week, Exercise calories can get me over 3000 although I usually don't eat back more than half of my exercise calories. My average loss has been 1.5-2 pounds a week.

    I'm about 5'4.5" and I eat about 1100-1200 cals daily but I exercise some of that off and so net cals is about 900

    Strong first post. This is completely unnecessary and suggesting a VLCD is against terms of service. You should choose a more sustainable course of action and stop recommending this to others.

    To OP--exercise is key. Walking more all day is key. I eat most of the calories I earn from exercise and am losing about a pound a week with 9 more pounds to go. Generally 1400-1700, sometimes more on the weekend.

    ETA: I'm 5'6"

    I'm not saying everyone should do that it's just what has become habit for me. I'm very cognizant of what and when I eat: I eat when I'm hungry I stop when I'm full and it just so happens that my calories are at 1100ish.
